A car from Cassville, MO recently made it to the big screen, the latest vehicle to enter the Hollywood vehicle icon hall of fame. Jim Craig, a Missouri businessperson, is closely connected to actor and director Clint Eastwood's latest movie, "Gran Torino."
Jim is the man who restored and later sold the movie's title vehicle, a green '72 Ford Gran Torino driven by the character Eastwood plays in the film. Jim shared in an recent interview that he learned about the car through a past employee, Ray Dotson, who saw the car and recognized its restoration potential.
